Chapter 64

�Hello Severus, nice to have you back. Paula and the little one had to go somewhere, she didn�t tell me where, only that she would be back as soon as she could.�
Although peeved that she�d taken off with his daughter, their daughter he amended, he was glad of some different company. Able to stay awake for longer periods, he was able to persuade Flitwick to tell him as much detail as possible about the defeat of Voldemort. �We were all worried when we couldn�t find your� you Severus. The ministry hauled Paula in several times before she was able to convince them she was not harbouring a fugitive. She has helped with the rebuilding, at least until Poppy noticed her growing stomach and put a stop to her activities. I must say it was a pleasant surprise to discover a little one was on the way. She would not allow Poppy to persuade her into the infirmary you know. No, she insisted the babe be born right here in this wagon. And she was, right there beside you on the bed.�
Severus was at a loss for words. His own child was born right at his side. He may not have been awake when it happened, but he was at least there. Paula had made sure of that. He felt a strange warmth deep inside him and tried to place it. It was not a feeling he was accustomed to and he fell asleep while trying to analyse it.

Molly saw her arrive and went outside to meet her. She explained that Harry had been extremely depressed since that day. The day Voldemort was defeated. She told Paula that he was constantly wanting to leave them, that he blamed himself for the majority of the deaths that occurred that day. He was saddened about losing almost everyone he loved, and for thinking Severus was dead when he left him.
Paula entered the house to find Harry sitting alone in the living room. �Hello Harry. You finally called me.�
�Yeah. Is that� ?�
Paula nodded and placed the baby in his arms.
�She�s beautiful. Molly said you�d had a little girl. Is she really Snapes? Sorry, I mean Professor Snapes.�

�Yes, she is Severus�, but that is not the reason you called me is it Harry.�
�No.� Hello little one.� He said to the baby, before turning his attention once more to Paula. �You said. When you gave me the will-o-the-thing, you said you would tell me something, something I needed to hear.�
Molly appeared with a tray. �I thought you two might like some tea. May I?� She asked, taking the child from Harry.

�Please Molly, thank you.� Paula said, taking a seat opposite Harry. Taking his hands in hers, she closed her eyes, feeling the desolation in him, the fragments of his soul desperately trying to heal but unable to find a way of adhere wing to each other because of the turmoil raging rampant inside of him.
�Harry, you are not alone any longer. I have kept something from you, something that would have thrown more confusion and instability into your world had I told you sooner.�

Harry glared at her. �Of course I�m alone. Remus, Sirius, even Dumbledore. Hegwids dead, and Dobby. You�re no different than him. Dumbledore. Why must everyone keep things from me? Why do I always have to be kept in the dark?�

�When I tell you, you will understand. Your dado, sorry your father, he was not an only child, though I do not believe he knew that. His father, Charlus. Was also my father. My mother was Romany, she died when I was born.�
Harry stared at her narrow eyed for a while, then he remembered to breath. �You�re dads sister?� He asked, his voice down to a whisper.
She nodded. �Half sister.�
�But that makes you my� my aunty.�

Paula nodded again, a slight smirk on her face now. �And the little one is your cousin. Harry I am as much in need of family as you are. Other than Luminitsa and Severus, I have no blood kin.�
�But you have the other Gypsies, aren�t they your family?�

�No, I am a witch, worse than that I am a soul searcher. The witchcraft alone was enough to gain me exile from my tribe.�
�But your name, its Vance, not Potter.�

�Vance was my mothers name, the name of my grandfather. My father was Charlus Potter, the same as James�. If you prefer not to acknowledge me I understand, but know that I exist Harry, and that I will always be here for you should you have a change of heart. I will leave you to consider things. But know that I am always available should you wish to talk. Either way, I will not hold it against you Harry should you choose not to have any further contact with me.�

Standing, she placed a hand on his shoulder. �I am proud of you Harry, for what you did that day. Now it is time to live for yourself. For the present and the future, not for what has passed and cannot be changed. Think about that.� She was about to leave the room when he grabbed her arm
�Where� where are you staying? How will I find you if� if I want to talk some more?�

�At Hogwarts, where else.�
Paula entered the kitchen to find Luminitsa the centre of attention. George and Charlie were both cooing over her while Ginny cradled her gently in her arms.
Molly insisted Paula sit and eat before she headed back.
�Ginny, you man could do with some company right now.�

Ginny turned a surprised face to Paula, her cheeks burning at the �Your man.� �Erm yeah, I suppose I should see how he�s doing. Though I wonder sometimes why I bother, he never says more than a few words to me these day.� Ginny said glumly.
�Thing are changing all the time Ginny. He needs you now more than ever. You have not given up on him so far, don�t allow that to change. Show him he has a future.�

�So you decided to return. Where have you been.� Severus demanded as soon as Paula entered the vurdon.
�To speak with Harry. It was time.�
�Time for what? Oh, time.�
Filius looked curiously from one to the other. When it was clear he was not going to be offered an explanation he cleared his throat and turned to leave.
�Wait Filius, you have been most accommodating, staying here and discussing events. It is only right that you know the truth.� Severus looked at Paula for confirmation before saying more.

She nodded.

�Paula is Charlus� daughter.�
The little man frowned in contemplation for a moment, then his eyes lit up. �You mean Charlus Potter, James Potters father?�

�I do. James Potter was her half brother.�
�O my. Oh my oh my. I had no idea. Charlus never mentioned, nor did James. Does Harry know?�
�He does now. I do not believe James knew of my existence, only my father knew of me outside the tribe. And kak of course, though only after he found me and I was thirteen years old by then.�
�Kak?�

�Albus.� Severus provided.
�It is not necessary to keep this a secret any longer Filius, so you may tell whoever you wish on your return to the castle. And thank you for keeping Severus company during my absence.�

�Oh your most welcome.� The little man said, gleefully heading back up to the school with information that no one else had.
